[ This is a one-time announcement that is being sent to lists where the
topic of backup reporting
has come up in the past.  Apologies to any who consider it to be off-topic. ]

A new list has been created specifically for the discussion of
backup-reporting issues:

       http://www.openbackup.org/mailman/listinfo/backup-reporting

This list exists to promote an independent discussion of reporting issues
in enterprise backup environments.
Discussion is limited to the topic of reporting but is not restricted by
either backup product or reporting solution.
Vendor participation is encouraged but sales pitches are not. Discussion
and sharing of solutions is absolutely
encouraged while the focus remains on the needs and requirements
surrounding backup reporting in various
organizations.

Some potential topics include:

       o  Reporting capabilities of different backup applications.
       o  Reporting gaps in different backup applications.
       o  Reporting scripts for various backup applications and platforms.
       o  Reporting needs seen in different environments.
       o  Discussion of commercial and non-commercial reporting products.
       o  Sharing of "roll your own" reporting solutions among list members.
       o  Integrating backup with ERP and helpdesk systems.
       o  Gathering and presenting long-term statistics on backup activity.

Comments and feedback are always welcome.

       Peter L. Buschman
